Sunny, very still, fairly warm. I believe there was a slight frost last night. Saw the white owl again yesterday evening. Limed part of the vacant patch, the part nearest the raspberries. That bit is not to be manured are I want it for root-crops. Dug a little more of the patch by the rhubarb. Soil here rather sour & must be limed when dug. Cut down the runner beans & added a layer to the compost heap. Made up a little more of the garden path.
Sold 4 cockerels for 9/- – poor price but they were very small.
3 eggs!

Yes, strange exclamation point.
At this point, the second Sino-Japanese war has been going on for two years, and stands at somewhat of a stalemate. What an odd time it must have been to be alive.
Also, rhubarb pie sounds funny, but it actually tastes great!
